Work closely with the ATF's NFA Branch to improve the forms approval process, including optimizing the "e-filing" system.

Work closely with the ATF's NFA Branch to expedite the Form 3 process.

Work with the U.S. Congress to eventually eliminate the Form 3 process.

Work with the U.S. Congres to eventually eliminate CLEO certification.
